Item 4.01       Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

As previously disclosed by RiverSource Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) on its Form 8-K filed June 10, 2010 and its Form 8-K/A filed June 16, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Ameriprise Financial, Inc., the owner of all the outstanding shares of the Company, determined not to engage Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accountants (“auditors”) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.  The Company’s Form 8-K filed June 10, 2010 and its Form 8-K/A filed June 16, 2010 also disclosed the Ameriprise Audit Committee’s approval of the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s auditors beginning with the 2011 fiscal year pursuant to a mutually agreed-upon engagement letter dated June 9, 2010.

This Form 8-K/A further amends the Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 10, 2010 to confirm that, upon EY’s delivery of its Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm dated February 23, 2011 in connection with the Company’s filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K, EY concluded the 2010 fiscal year audit for the Company and completed its engagement.

EY’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the interim period between December 31, 2010 and the date of filing of this Form 8-K/A, and the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were no disagreements between the Company and EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to EY’s satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report for such years, and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided EY with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. A copy of EY’s letter dated March 1, 2011 stating its agreement with the above statements is attached as Exhibit 16.2.

During the period from January 1, 2010 through June 9, 2010 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company’s behalf has consulted with PwC regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as defined in item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
